Tumble Dryers

[Lula]

Afternoon my lovelies, my mum wants a tumble dryer for her birthday, firstly she has no floor space so it will be going on a counter top, this presents a few problems.

 

A) she is disabled and cant reach the window to pop out a vent so needs to have a condenser model

 

B) she wont be able to reach up to adjust the settings.

 

so my question to you all is, does anyone know of a dryer manufacturer that has the controls on the side or the bottom of the machine?

Your week is going from bad to worse Lula

And it's only Monday !!!

LOL, it isnt getting any easier is it?

 

But, on reflection, I have spoken to her and if she puts the vent in the sink and opens a window, she could even have the extractor working and that should be ok, AND, i told her to measure up from the top of the surface to how high the washing machine is, and she can actually reach up that high, so that is a bit of a releif, cos I dont beleive that she would have looked after a condenser in the way that it would need to be looked after lol

and correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a condenser dryer need plumbing in as well, which would be difficult on top of a worksurface:confused:

nope sorry, didnt think so, there is a well that has to be emptied as far as i know

If someone could put the tumble dryer onto the correct settings for your mum a couple of times a week ie: 'her carer' you could buy a remote control timer plug and that way, all she would need to do is put in the washing/close the door, then turn on using the remote. This way she could use it when she needed to use it.

 

just a thought....
